The Making of 'NMTD Tumblr Text Posts'

The making of the graphic seen in THIS POST

STEP 1: Decide what size and shape the overall graphic will be. In this case I decided to make it rectangle, like my laptop screen.

STEP 2: Select the first shape.

STEP 3: Adjust the shape as necessary.

STEP 4: Repeat with next shape.

STEP 5: Sometimes I'll add a shape and decide I want it behind a previously added shape. So...

STEP 6: …voila! The rectangle is now behind the triangle.

STEP 7: And repeat

 Until it is filled:

STEP 8: Start dropping pictures

Until it's filled

STEP 9: Put borders around each picture.

STEP 10: Select quotes (aka text posts) and place them.

STEP 11: Put shadows and other small adjustments wherever needed.

And done!
